what's your conception story?

saw this on another board, thought it would be interesting to see how you all realized/discovered you were pregnant? and how did you tell your so and how did they react?

df and I have never used any protection because he had fertility tests done a few years ago in his previous relationship and was told that his chance of conceiving naturally was maybe 5% with a fully fertile female. My docs have questioned mine in the past because of troubles I've had with my periods.

so we figured if it happened it was meant to be, but had pretty much convinced ourselves that we would just have to use IVF someday.

my cycle isn't spot on but usually by at least day 33 it's at least starting, but this time come day 36 and still nothing. my boobs were sore and i was hormonal as hell (still am lol) but that's nothing usual coming up to my period.

I wasn't sick but I was a zombie (still am! lol) and my boobs were so hot you could fry and egg on them. so I thought wth I will take a test and be done with it.

as soon as I took the test I put it on the floor and walked away for the few mins and thought to myself "why did I even bother!" walked back to test and told myself "see! positive!"

"wait - what? ohhhhhh shit." and started crying hystericallyhaha.

df sent me a message all about the same time asking if my period had started yet because he wanted "normal" gabby back.

I took a picture of the test and said "I don't think my period is coming for a while!"

he called me back to ask if I was serious and through my sobs I said of course I am serious and all he said was - "ohhhhhh shit."

I couldn't believe it so I took another 7 tests - all positive! then went to the doc, did a blood test and sure enough that was positive too and here We are! :)

LO was actually conceived as a result of belated birthday sex lol! DF worked on my b-day and for a few days after, so the one night he had off, well, let's just say we took full advantage of the situation! LOL!

Weirdest thing, though: with one of my other pregnancies, I found out on the EXACT same day as this one.

HAHA! I bought the tests at Walmart, and DF wanted to go to Future Shop, which was next door. I hate being with him in electronics stores, so I figured I'd go pee...while in there, I figured why not test....POSITIVE! HAHA! It took everything i had not to tell him right there in the I-Pad section LOL. We were in the parking lot, walking over to Denny's (they're all in the same mini-mall), and I burst out with it! His reaction: "No, you're not!"

LMAO!

My story is pretty conventional. I went off the pill back in October 09, to see what my normal cycles would be. I had been on it since I was like 14 or 15 so I had no clue what it was going to be like. My cycles jumped around for a while. We got married in late March and by mid April we were pregnant. We were so excited. Our very first "try"!! We told everyone you could imagine. Things were going ok, but I was having some wicked cramps that would double me over at times, but was assured everything was normal at my 8 week checkup. I ended up m/c'ing in May at week 10, with the baby showing it hadnt grown past week 6. I had a d/c but kept bleeding for 3months afterwards. Turns out in August, they discovered they had forgot a piece inside of me and it had got infected, which was the reason I was not getting pregnant and was still bleeding.We decided that September we werent even going to bother trying to just see if things would go back to normal with me and give us a chance to relax about everything. I started AF on CD23 which was really unusual for me, even when everything was out of wack I had never had such short cycles before. I didnt think too much about it, except I of course had a good cry and scream in my car that again I was not pregnant. AF was sure taking her time that month and I had now bled for 5 days, again I never bleed that long. One night after the 4th time peeing in a 2hour span I got fed up and thought, well I will just humour myself and took a HPT... I was mad at myself afterwards for wasting a test, so I went back to bed. About an hour later I had to pee again so I got up and looked at the test on my way to pee. Sure enough it was positive.

I got up the next morning, didnt say anything to hubby about it in case this one didnt hold on either because I had been bleeding so much. I took off "sick" from work at lunch time to head to the drs to get a blood test done. The next day the dr confirmed that I was indeed pregnant. I was still bleeding and bled for almost 15days which just made things harder. I was very hesitant in telling hubby about it. I didnt want to hurt him again, but I was such a basket case that I ended up telling him. I bought a "baby on board" sign and put it in his truck window. He was in a rush to get to work that night and barely even kissed me goodbye. It didnt take him more than 2 minutes to walk right back through the door of the house and give me a huge kiss, and ask if I was pregnant again.

HAHA! I ended up whipping the pee-stick right in the parking lot LOL! He's super excited! When he heard the baby's HB for the first time, he cried...he still gets a little choked up everytime he sees it.

This one, we actually know exactly when the deed was done (the joys of parenthood when you have sex so seldom, you can pinpoint conception of a new addition!!!) I stated to wonder when AF's little precursors didn't show up. In September, I got AF the day after my birthday. I told Ryan my thoughts, and in the same breath said he was sure I wasn't, we would have two girls, and maybe I should get a test. The next morning, I left him sleeping and went to a little hospital affiliated clinic with Ryli. She ended up being the first person I told.

We have been married for almost four years, and I have been bothering my dh to make a baby for at least two years. We never used protection just the good old pull out method. Well...my dh decided one night that it was time to make a baby. I was of course in complete shock. I asked about what happened and he said, "I figured you wouldn't mind!" Well a few short weeks later I am sleepy all the time, having hot flashes, an my face broke out.

I took several test from 5 days before my missed period until the day of my period, all were negative. I was getting really disappointed so I decided not to take another test until my period was at least four days late. My period has always been 28 days with no delays.

The day before I took the test my husband said, "You're Pregnant!" After my period was four days late, I decided to take a test when I got home from watching a friend's kid. My husband walked into the bathroom right when I was going to take a test. He said, "Ok, you are taking a test now?" Being hormonal I said, "Yes, do you want to watch?" He left the the room with a smart butt smile. After patiently waiting, I saw those two bright pink lines. I was overwhelmed with joy, with tears in my eyes, I walked into the frontroom with the test in my hand and said, "We're having a Baby!!!!". He jumped up and kissed me.

After I took the test I had to leave to help another friend. I hated leaving during our moment of joy! It was so hard not to tell my friends that day!

Andy was an alcoholic. he went to rehab because I told him if he didn't change I wouldn't be with him anymore. the day after he got back, (he was gone over 3 weeks) we had unprotected sex. he "let go" inside me. I knew instantly I was pregnant lol. I told him a couple hours later that we needed to wait 2 weeks and buy a test. sure 'nuff, about a week later I had a tiny amount of blood one time when I wiped. this was totally not like me as my cycle is like a faucet. either its on or off lol. a week after the spotting I took a test. positive! called DF and told him, we cried together. its our first and we can't wait!! I love him so much and I feel privileged to be able to share and show our love in such a meaningful way. I've never met anyone like him and im sure I never will. forever and ever baby!! <3

I know exactly when it happened.. a friend decided i needed a night out, so we went to the bar and well needless to say we had to call for a ride home, I was supposed to stay on her couch but drunk at 2am for this girl = horny lol so I called up the bf to come get me and he did.. I'm pretty sure he'll never come pick my drunk butt up again.

I found out when my dentist put me on an antibiotic and a pain med for my tooth and I kept throwing it up, we thought I was allergic so we went and got a different antibiotic and pain med and well it came up too. so I called the dentist telling her I wanted my tooth out of my mouth because it hurt so bad and at about 4am when I was tossing it for the 100th time that night I thought wait maybe this is because of something else. next day I took a HPT and went to my OB/GYN to get something to keep my food and antibiotic down:)

we're now engaged and couldn't be happier!

we have been on fertility treatment for 5 plus years. we have lost 4, and have one beautiful 8 year old boy. we conceived this last june, went in for our 12 u/s and the baby was tiny and the sack was even smaller, 3 days later the heart stopped beating. On aug 26 we had a d&c. So i patiently wait for AF to come so we could try again and start back on our meds.......AF never came! I called the doc and told him I was super sick and i thought he had left something in my uterus causing and infection. DH and I went in for an ultrasound to check for retained anything and the doctor found a heart beat! we were 6 weeks pregnant!
